First-Year Seminar (FYS 101)

FYS 101 is a semester-length, one-credit course that engages all first-year and transfer students in exploring the following areas:

  • Belonging
  • Interdependence
  • Health and Wellness
  • Development of Identity
  • Socialization, Prejudice
  • Discrimination
  • Bias
  • Stereotypes

Students will engage on these topics both within their FYS 101 section, University-wide as well as in school/college-level experiential activities. To facilitate meaningful small group discussions, each class is structured with up to 19 students from multiple schools and colleges. It is led by a Lead Instructor and a Peer Leader, selected from experienced staff, faculty, graduate and undergraduate students.
